Option to automatically log out when switching devices

Option to automatically log out when switching devices

It would be very important to have an option to be automatically logged out when switching devices.

I have 3 devices I use (one for the library, one for the main work and one for portability). I rarely use the 1st and 3rd but I recently got an email from the compliance saying I'm overusing the license and that I have to pay 10 times the value of my licenses.

A good example is Adobe, where it notifies you when you reach the maximum number of users and you have to logout one device to login in another one.

 

Please vote so we can have this as soon as possible. 

 

Thanks

Or to put it another way, only allow one concurrent login.

Unless this is a strategy to passively allow over usage for the purpose of generating more revenue?

I recently found that Autodesk does have a “device limit reached” capability.  The issue is that it currently advises to attempted access on a 3rd device. The Autodesk “Terms of Use” states Your Authorized User may install the Software on up to three (3) Electronic Devices, but they may use only one (1) Electronic Device at a time to access the Software.”

Why wouldn’t device limit tool align with the Autodesk terms and notify on access to 2nd device?  I’m hoping it’s not for the reason “rkmcswain’s” stated!  Perhaps Autodesk could further explain to help us understand?
